I've been keeping an eye out for an M/T for probably 10-15 years. This one has been in heated storage for awhile and is rust free!
I do have some ideas for it; tubular headers, single turbo, and piggyback, but for now I will be doing some basic repairs and cleaning up the little things.
Great find! There have been a few 3VZ turbo conversions on MR2's don't think I've seen one in the ES300. Best of luck that's a whole lot of custom work. You can get 15hp by doing the AFM tune this involves removing the cover from the AFM and rotating the clock spring sprocket clockwise 3-4 clicks. Set ignition timing 15-18 degrees and free power. This 100% works I did it on my Camry years ago.

It is a great find, and it's no secret I'm not a fan of hot rodding these cars. The car is lovely as it is. The leather is also in fantastic condition, easily restorable into brand new mint condition.
Check out this video to see how the modern Colourlock range of restoration products work on these sorts of seats,
Should have grabbed the shift cables can get the two bolts out with a ratcheting 10mm wrench. I pillaged a 1992 recently here's the transmission in all its greasy glory.
Thank you. I need the Pass tail light assembly, the power antenna, the top center vent (in tan) and been looking for possibly some heated seats/just the switches. I have plans to retrofit them for other functions. I should have grabbed some extra parts when I got a fender, hood, and front bumper assembly earlier this year to fix my car.
Might have to make the 1 1/2hr trip out with some tools, when I can break free, haha. Looking forward to seeing your progress on your car. You've got the one thing I've been trying to get my hands on - an E53. I would have jumped after it had I found it. Stuck with the slush box for now
I can find late 94s-96s all day, but have yet to find stuff for early cars with usable parts. Ended up sourcing a DL Tail Light from Texas since I cracked a lens and needed one ASAP - it should be coming in today. Half the antennas are bent/non-op. They're not too critical, I'll just keep my eyes peeled. Most of these cars out hera are still on the road, so that doesn't help much.
